Bright blinking LED of visible wavelength would draw attention to you pretty quickly, I suppose. It would be noticeable from afar.

If I were to build a security camera, it would engage an IR filter as soon as it detects enough ambient visible light, that is, basically all the time a store is open.

Working with IP cameras for a decade now, I've not encountered one that exposes access to control the IR filter short of embedded non-IP cameras aimed at robotics.

Just add sequins and something loud and gaudy like that ugly as sin Ed Hardy fashion from a few years ago. You'll be noticed, and immediately ignored as a fashion victim.
